How to install Wekan on Ubuntu 14.04

In this blog post we will show you how to install Wekan on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS with the latest version of Nginx as a reverse proxy. Wekan is an open-source Trello-like kanban board application which runs on Node.js and MongoDB. This guide should work on other Linux VPS systems as well, but was tested and written for Ubuntu 14.04 VPS.

That’s it. You can now open your browser, type the address of your Wekan instance and register your first user.

For more information about how manage your Wekan application, please refer to the Wekan website.

Of course you don’t have to do any of this if you use one of our Linux VPS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to setup this for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.

Have you made sure that you’ve followed the instructions correctly?
Please try doing all of the described steps again and be more careful. We usually make sure that all of our guides here are correct.
Finally make sure that you update the `username` parts of the script with your actual username.
